A GLANCE TO OUR PAST........
The Indian School of Mines (ISM) was established by the government of India in 1926 on the pattern of Royal School of Mines, London which now belongs to Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine, London.
It caters to the human resource needs of India in the areas of mining engineering, petroleum engineering, mining machinery, mineral engineering and the earth sciences besides training manpower in related disciplines of management, electronics & instrumentation, environmental sciences and applied sciences.
